Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience: A Beginner's Guide

by Bernard J. Baars

Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience is a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to cognitive neuroscience. Winner of a 2013 Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association, this book was written by two leading experts in the field to be highly accessible to undergraduates with limited neuroscience training. It covers all aspects of the field―the neural framework, sight, sound, consciousness, learning/memory, problem solving, speech, executive control, emotions, socialization and development―in a student-friendly format with extensive pedagogy and ancillaries to aid both the student and professor. This introductory text takes a unique thematic approach, guiding students along a clear path to understand the latest findings whether or not they have a background in neuroscience. It includes case studies and everyday examples designed to help students understand the more challenging aspects of the material. It is richly illustrated with carefully selected color graphics to enhance understanding. Enhanced pedagogy highlights key concepts for the student and aids in teaching. Chapter outlines, study questions, glossary, and image collection are also available on the student's companion website. Ancillary support saves instructors time and facilitates learning; test questions, image collection, and lecture slides are available on the instructor's manual website. This book will be of interest to undergraduate students in Neuroscience, Psychology, and related disciplines that teach cognitive neuroscience.

واقعا برام دوست داشتنی و جذاب بود خیلی شیرین و روون یه آشنایی اولیه با علوم عصب شناختی ارائه داده بود.که همراه با دوره های حامد اختیاری تو مکتب خونه مرورشون کردم.درسته تمومش کردم ولی دوباره شروع به بازخوانی کردم تا مطالبش تو ذهنم تثبیت شه.در واقع این سری به عنوان کتاب درسی بهش نگاه میکنم نه صرفا اینکه فقط بخونمش و یاد بگیرم.دقیق تر و همراه با نت برداری مطالعه میکنم.
اگه به دانش مغز علاقه دارین و پیش زمینه ی زیادی ندارین انتخاب خوبیه.

I love the plain simple language of the book, and the intent of the authors to make us learn rather than just reading the book.

Meh. It offers less neuroscience than one expects. But it's a good introductory book for those who are considering this field or are majoring in neighbor fields. It's fluent and has a great framework. But what it lacks, is comprehensive specialized details that can be used for those who are majoring in cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience and cognitive science in general.
I think this was my last rereading of this book.
Fluency: 5/5
Style: 5/5

کتاب مبانی علوم اعصاب شناختی، با زبانی رسا و جذاب سعی می‌کنه که مفاهیم پایه‌ای و ابتدایی علوم اعصاب رو توضیح بده. فصل‌بندی کتاب خیلی جذابه و برای علاقه‌مندان حوزه نوروساینس به شدت پیشنهاد می‌شه.
